Family members of all ages will enjoy playing together in easy drop-in, drop-out co-op gameplay, as they partake in the iconic Helms Deep Battle, explore The Shire, escape the fiery pits of Mount Doom, and battle against Shelob, the Nazgūl, and the Ringwraiths, all while solving puzzles, and collecting and using a variety of weaponry and magical items, including the Light of Eärendil, Elven rope, swords, and bows.

I hope they keep making these. These games are just digital versions of the Lego play sets that also are based on various movies, books, comic book characters, etc. And, just like those play sets, they are a great way for parents and their kids to have fun together. I think folks that don't have kids lose sight of that.
